I definitely remember New Vegas being panned on launch, I was kind of part of that when I was too young to know any better lol. But immediate acclaim is very much not an indicator of good media, and tons of all-time classics are panned and misunderstood on release and only appreciated in hindsight. That is very much the case here, fallout 3 and 4 have no cult following or cultural staying power compared to New Vegas, shown by how almost nobody loves them like NV fans love NV and hardly anyone talks about them anymore other than “I would not rob you of that” and “another settlement needs your help”
I’m not saying you can’t prefer 3 or 4, it’s kinda weird and rude downvoting all of someone’s comments just bc you disagree with them about fallout cx
didnt downvote all your comments lol no clue what thats about
but what youre saying about 3 and 4 having no hardcore fans like new vegas would also be true of fallout 1 and 2. nobody talks about them. i hear more about 76 than 1 or 2
Oh cool I just assumed you were the one downvote on my comments in this thread lol
And Fallout 1 and 2 not being culturally relevant at this point doesn’t really mean anything, it’s off topic. It just means those games aren’t popular anymore either. But New Vegas has long outlived the bethesda games in pop culture, and imo that’s bc it’s actually well written and interesting on account of the writers having actual knowledge and passion for the franchise (and being better writers in general)

New Vegas got skewered on release due to bugs and stability, deservedly so.
It was unstable and buggy as fuck. It took a looong time for it to be remotely stable and not have to constantly use console to unfuck things.
